The Friends of the Tonto National Forest, Mesa Ranger District and Southwest Monarch Study need your help to restore habitat for Monarch Butterflies by planting milkweed plants in Tonto National Forest. This is part of an International effort to support Monarch Butterflies during their migration along a corridor from Canada to Mexico.

This is a great activity for individuals 14 or older and groups. Twelve and Thirteen years old volunteers are also welcome to join if accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian.

Milkweed plants are funded by a grant to the Southwest Monarch Study by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
